(C-l runs the command recenter-top-bottom.)
Hold down CTRL+L. What do you see?
Could this perhaps be rate-limited?
Holding down CTRL+K works fine (eating text at a pleasant pace)
but mistakenly holding down CTRL+L instead just creates an eerie
confusing effect.

In fact how about having it stop on the third CTRL+L, after which it
makes no sense anyway.

If the user wants to send more CTRL+L, have them lift their finger first.

C-k deletes text at the rate you've set keystrokes to repeat, I think?

I often use it more than three times when switching between views.

I think that's a bad idea; closing.
